Emma Lewis Mitchell was a daughter of Lucy Lewis and her siblings were Ann Lewis Hansen, Mary Lewis Garcia, Dolores Lewis Garcia and Carmel Lewis Haskaya, all of whom are outstanding potters.

 
This jar by Emma Lewis Mitchell is typical of her fine quality work.  It was well formed and sanded.  The white slip covers the entire outer surface, including the underside, and reveals the hands of a potter who was an expert at polishing the surface.  The white slip is smooth and highly burnished.  There are eight heartline deer over the body of the vessel.  Each was painted to perfection.
